Netflix FullScreen + Nvidia Driver => random Gnome freeze

Reported by louisgac...@gmail.com, Mar 19 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Use Nvidia Drivers on CentOS, Ubuntu or Fedora
2. Launch Netflix or Youtube in Full Screen mode
3. After a random time (up to hours), the picture freeze, the sound continues, and Gnome is frozen (not reacting to mouse or keyboard, must ctrl+alt+F1 to restart GDM)

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
Launching chrome with --disable-gpu solves the problem. Knowing that some lags can be seen while watching the video, and that the crash appears to be a "very long lag", it seems that it's a problem with VRam management.
